I took over hosting duties in 2011 and the smartest thing I ever did was get burnt-out (OK, maybe not?) and start asking for all y'alls help in coming up with monthly optional themes (definitely). I like to think some of you enjoy this too because the last several years you've come up with some great themes. In fact, every single theme for 2024 came out of last year's poll. None of those came from yours truly.
The 2025 poll is now open via a Google Form. I will likely close it November 30, which will give me time to select winning themes and get a post ready in early December to give folks plenty of time to sign up before we kick things off in January. Enter early, enter often.
I have been enjoying this challenge for the past few years and look forward next year. I'll try to think of some themes. Thanks for hosting!!
ReplyDeleteAs of a few minutes ago, I have entered 15 (FIFTEEN) different suggestions (also known as: filled the form three times over the last thirty or so hours).
ReplyDeleteI love the happy expectation of seeing whether any make it to the themes for the year, and if so, how closely they resemble the original suggestion (because, let's face it, some are not exactly easy to sell, as-is)
AL: Thank you! And yes, that's something I always forget to mention - in the past I've gotten theme suggestions that with a slight tweak (usually to make them more "broad") end up as part of the Challenge.
